FAQs

Florentine style mirrors originated in Florence, Italy, characterised by elaborate hand-carved openwork framing, scrolling acanthus leaves, and gilded surface finishes that reflect Renaissance and Baroque influences.

These frames were typically carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso preparation, and finished using water gilding or oil gilding with gold leaf before inserting mirror glass.

Authentic pieces generally display subtle wear to the gilding revealing the red or grey bole clay underneath, along with carved wood joinery visible from the reverse and non-uniform hand-carved details.

Positioning a Florentine mirror above a contemporary sideboard or fireplace mantel creates an intentional visual contrast between classical woodcarving details and clean modern lines.

Dust the carved frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaners that can dissolve gesso and damage delicate gold leafing.
